WATERWho
knew?

75%
of Americans are chronically dehydrated. (Likely applies to half the
world population.)

In
37% of Americans, the thirst mechanism is so weak that it is mistaken
for hunger.

Even
MILD dehydration will slow down one's metabolism as much as 3%.

One
glass of water will shut down midnight hunger pangs for almost 100%
of the dieters studied in a University of Washington study.

Lack
of water, is the number 1 trigger of daytime fatigue.

Preliminary
research indicates that 8-10 glasses of water a day could significantly
ease back and joint pain for up to 80% of sufferers.

A
mere 2% drop in body water can trigger fuzzy short-term memory, trouble
with basic math, and difficulty focusing on the computer screen or
on a printed page.

Drinking
5 glasses of water daily decreases the risk of colon cancer by 45%,
plus it can slash the risk of breast cancer by 79%., and one is 50%
less likely to develop bladder cancer.

Are
you drinking the amount of water you should drink every day?

COKEWho
knew?

In many
states the highway patrol carries two gallons of Coke in the trunk
to remove blood from the highway after a car accident.

To clean
a toilet: Pour a can of Coca-Cola into the toilet bowl and let the
"real thing" sit for one hour, then flush clean. The citric
acid in Coke removes stains from vitreous china.

To remove
rust spots from chrome car bumpers: Rub the bumper with a rumpled-up
piece of Reynolds Wrap aluminum foil dipped in Coca-Cola.

To clean
corrosion from car battery terminals: Pour a can of Coca-Cola over
the terminals to bubble away the corrosion.

To loosen
a rusted bolt: Apply a cloth soaked in Coca-Cola to the rusted bolt
for several minutes.

To bake
a moist ham: Empty a can of Coca-Cola into the baking pan, wrap the
ham in aluminum foil, and bake. Thirty minutes before ham is finished,
remove the foil, allowing the drippings to mix with the Coke for a
sumptuous brown gravy.

To remove
grease from clothes: Empty a can of Coke into the load of greasy clothes,
add detergent, and run through a regular cycle. The Coca-Cola will
help loosen grease stains. It will also clean road haze from your
windshield.

FYI

The active
ingredient in Coke is phosphoric acid. It will dissolve a nail in
about four days. Phosphoric acid also leaches calcium from bones and
is a major contributor to the rising increase of osteoporosis.

To carry
Coca-Cola syrup (the concentrate), commercial trucks must use HAZMAT
(Hazardous Material) place cards reserved for highly corrosive materials.

The distributors
of Coke have been using it to clean engines of the trucks for about
20 years!

The question is, would you rather consume a glass of water
or that Coke stuff?
